Gardening for one of my clients today, I noticed a new bee swarm collecting in the veg garden.
In the above state, bees are very docile.
In no time, the owners were suited up and ready to tap the swarm into a fresh bee hive.
Bees in this state of disturbance are
not docile.
Observing them, the bees seemed to know what to do from here, slowly entering the hive one by one. We were pretty sure that the Queen managed to end up in the hive because of that.
It was pretty exciting and interesting to watch and if successful, that will be three hives at this suburban property.
